A note on the Ramsey numbers for theta graphs versus the wheel of order 5
(
Kalasalingam University
, 2018 , Article)
The study of exact values and bounds on the Ramsey numbers of graphs forms an important family of problems in the extremal graph theory. For a set of graphs S and a graph F, the Ramsey number R(S,F) is the smallest positive ...
